Found the manual on the Spanish LG site http://www.lg.com/es/soporte-producto/lg-IPS234V under 'Manuales de Usario' (choose the Ingles (English) one) and it seems that 75 Hz isn't recommended or standard at 1080p. It can be seen on page 25 and 26. Bummer

Thanks for the reply, I've just read that newegg just marks their items OOS once they've reached their limit that had for the sale price, so they aren't really OOS, but won't "restock" until sale is over :<
